Handicrafts
Solomon Islands handicrafts are authentic. Despite commercialisation, carvings and baskets have remained as they had been for hundreds of years .
Carving and weaving is an intricate part of the islander culture. Handcarved items grace the fronts of custom houses and the brows of canoes used in inter-tribal warfare .
Retailers offer a range of traditional Solomon Islands handicrafts including hand-carved, wood, stone and tagua objects in various sizes and styles.
There is no mass production of carvings. Artisans use the most basic tools to turn out works of art from materials which they use. ensuring that each item is unique despite being carved by the same craftsman or women.
